Legendary band U2 make themselves at home in Kilkenny

Do you remember these lowkey visits?

Kilkenny Flashback - Legendary drummer and U2 co-founder Larry Mullen Jnr was pictured in Kilkenny in 2021 alongside local tech investor and entrepreneur Brendan Morrissey.

In an Instagram post, Brendan expresses his love for the band in the caption: "I spent my misspent youth in bars listening to every U2 record on the jukebox. Welcome to Kilkenny Larry. Strange how life turns out."

Brendan himself made headlines during the same period following the launch of iLaugh, an app that combines smart technology and comedy.

Meanwhile, three years later, U2 frontman Bono and well-known author Roddy Doyle were among the celebrity faces to be spotted in Kilkenny as familiar faces flocked Noreside for the 'Kilkenomics' festival.
